Maybe something like this, rwd, 560bhp, and smaller than a mondeo (height and width)

Apart from having a Ford badge on it, what is this ? it looks quite nice

Australian Ford Falcon. Turbocharged 4.0l straight six.

I wish that Ford would follow GM and sell this in the UK

I see a Falcon Limo from that gen sometimes around Eastbourne.

"In 2016 the Falcon may be replaced by a large car platform that is to be built for all world markets, which could be either a global rear wheel drive platform (shared with Mustang) or a transverse front wheel drive platform (shared with Mondeo and Taurus), a decision on that will be made in 2012.[42]

Ford's European design head Martin Smith has pointed out the Taurus platform could not be a true replacement for the rear drive Falcon,[43] and Ford Australia chief Marin Burela has stated that no decision has been made on Falcon, and its future for now is safe, and the Falcon could share its platform with other rear wheel drive Fords, like Mustang.

[44] This was confirmed by Ford CEO Alan Mulally.[45] The Taurus is a much heavier car than the Falcon, which hampers performance and fuel economy"

From a car point of view, times change and so do vehicles. We no longer buy large, underpowered sallons in much the same way that we no longer wear Old Spice aftershave or nylon pants.

Speak for yourself...

I want an S600. and an S8. and an XJ12.
To hell with the eco boxes.
